Pearl Spring in winter is like an ink painting, with morning mist swirling beautifully like poetry

In winter, the Pearl Spring Scenic Area in Nanjing resembles a flowing ink painting, breathtakingly beautiful. In the early morning, the mist gently wraps around the rocks by the spring and the branches in the forest, softly blurring them. The lake water appears faintly through the mist, lively and poetic. This place not only boasts enchanting natural scenery but also holds profound cultural heritage. Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it has been praised as "the foremost scenic spot north of the Yangtze River." The Ming Dynasty cliff inscription "Wan Hu Ming Zhu" (Ten Thousand Measures of Pearls) by the lake bears witness to the vicissitudes of history. The core attraction, Pearl Spring, is clear and green. When you clap your hands, strings of pearl-like bubbles continuously emerge, full of fun. The Great Wall built along the mountain, though not as grand as Badaling, has its own unique charm. Climbing to the Miaogao Peak Great Wall fortress offers a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery below. Additionally, the scenic area is well-equipped with a wildlife park, amusement park, and water world, making it perfect for family outings. Come to Pearl Spring, stroll in the mist, feel the tranquility of time, and experience the unique charm of Jinling’s winter rhythm. Whether exploring historical traces or enjoying family time, this is an excellent choice. Come check in and let this gentle and poetic winter become an unforgettable memory!
